- one-on-one conferencing
- a great strategy to get to know your students not only as writers, but also as individuals
- this is appropriate for their age group because they can be treated as adults
- be aware of the way you ask questions
- are you dictating the direction of the conversation towards an answer you're seeking?
- you want the students to identify their concerns
- cultivate a culture of asking questions, and students asking questions, so that one-on-one conferencing can be a dialogue and not an assessment session
- discover the root issue to students' insecurities about their writing, rather than trying to "fix" their "mistakes"
